FRIDAY EVE FAVORITES – JULY EDITION

Summer is such a flirt. We think we are going to have all the time to do the things, while relaxing and living in the moment. Then June peaks and we realized we were duped again! And yet, I don’t ever want to be numb enough to lose hope that one day….summer will be chill. Until then, I still love it and enjoy every moment.

Finishing Touch Flawless Pedi Electronic Tool File and Callus Remover

This is a dream come true, a kryptonite to calluses. It’s safe and easy to use. Our feet are not cheese, so they aren’t meant to have graters used on them…ewwww. This electronic file and callus remover is gentle and effective. Friends, please throw your foot graters away! Unless you just love bandaids.

Prepara Herb Savor Pod 2.0

Waste herbs no more! This baby can triple the life of your fresh herbs. By 3 weeks! This container is designed to prolong the life of your fresh herbs, while being easy to use and fit into any fridge door. The advantage of the design is the clear windowed, hard shell which protects leaves from being crushed by other items in the fridge. You can see what’s inside, while letting them breath at optimum hydration levels. I use this for green onions as well.

It’s in the Cloud, OPI Nail Lacquer

I’ve had the same manicurist for 100 years now, we are basically family now. She is insanely talented at being a gentle therapist and at creating gorgeous nail art. The later gift is wasted on boring ol’ me. I love a classic nude nail or a pretty soft white. This is my current favorite white polish. I never expected one could trump Bubble Bath or Funny Bunny, until It’s in the Cloud came along.

Spinning 3-Tier Lazy Susan Caddy

I am late to the Lazy Susan game, I just feel like it’s mean to assume Susan’s are lazy. Not true. This guy has a base that is tall enough for hair products etc. It’s also pretty. Big points for that. Do I love that it’s is out on my counter? No. But I do love this is a system that I use, keeping the bathroom counter clean. Chad appreciates this as well. He is a fan of the Organized Susan.

Boho Floral Long Skirt

If you need a day to feel good about yourself and get lots of compliments, buy this skirt. I’ve never enjoyed wearing a skirt more. Or gotten more compliments. Gracious.

Vegan Verb Ghost Oil

Bambi brought this hair oil to the house and mentioned she loved it. The bottle was almost gone, so I knew she wasn’t exaggerating. (Our shared love language) We are both Oribe hair product snobs, but thought I’d give this one a shot for my daily hair treatment. It truly is weightless and not only smooths but softens like nothing else I’ve used. They say it locks in moisture and promotes radiant shine and they do not lie.

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Patches

I’ve dated a lot of eye patches and these are hands the one to marry. MVP. They aren’t the gel patches, which give me the creeps and fall off my face. These are a foiled paper material that hydrate and soothe like nothing I’ve ever used. If you don’t believe me, they are an Allure Best of Beauty Winner. “In a consumer study 100% of consumers said our gold under eye patches leave their delicate eye area more soothed and hydrated than before application. 93.8% said dark circles are less noticeable. Our soothing eye patches are the ideal gold eye patches for puffy eyes and eye mask for puffiness.”

Beach Towel Clips

Beach towel clips, close pins, quilt drying clips, whatever you use them for…finally! Simple, pretty, and hefty ones! I ordered these to hold the beach towel on my chair, my old Flamingo clips died and I wanted to replace them with something a little more subtle. Good quality.

FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Liquid Killawatt Fluid Freestyle Highlighter

Because I don’t love Rihanna’s attitude, I’ve never given her makeup a chance. Not even when Mason told me I “needed it”. I stumbled on this fluid freestyle highlighter and enjoy it. It’s not my fault, its just that good. I put it on cheek bones, tip of my nose, and right above my cupids bow. I use the HU$LA Baby 2.0 shade, a name that reflects my character well. In case you didn’t understand my hesitation, now you do.

I leave you with a recent podcast I loved…I adore Ann Lamott dearly while Kelly Corrigan makes me laugh and helps me feel more human with her honesty.

Wishing you all an amazing, relaxing summer.

Make it happen.
